P.E. SPORT PREMIUM FUNDING

Following the London 2012 Olympics, the government agreed to invest over £450million in school sports funding upto 2016 and in the last Parliament this was agreed to be extended until at least 2020, partially funded for by the introduction of the “sugar-tax”, and linked to the Government’s Childhood Obesity Plan.

This is known as Sport Premium funding and is ring fenced in school to be spent solely on school sport and P.E. This year (2017/18) we will receive £20,500 – double last year.

Schools are held accountable by Ofsted regarding the spending of this grant and Ofsted will report on how we spend our Sport Premium funding.

OFSTED (FEBRUARY 2017):

“The primary physical education and sports funding is used well to ensure that pupils take part in a wide range of sporting activities and competitions, including dance, netball, football, basketball, gymnastics and karate. External specialist coaches are used to extend pupils’ skills and to develop the existing skills of members of staff.”

The attached documents show historically our action plans, achievements and looking forward our aims and ambitions for the current academic year and budget proposal.

Accountability

Schools must spend this additional funding on IMPROVING their provision of P.E. and sport, but each school has the freedom to choose how to do this. Inspectors may review our school website, looking for evidence of our sporting provision as well as when they visit our school. Schools must be able to account for their spending and to show how it has improved sporting provision.

Competition

Competition is also an important feature – it’s about personal competition as well as team competitions both within school (intra-school) and between schools (inter-school) particularly in KS2.

Learn the basic skills using the ‘Key Steps’ programme then step up a level to the BAGA Proficiency Award Scheme. Activities include basic floor skills, jumping, landing and rolling. No experience necessary.

KARATE
